No, no. See, God is definitely a dude.

He’s so manly and not gay that He even made Adam a wife just so he wouldn’t have to resort to nonbinary gay stuff with angels.

God has even had sex, like, at least once. How else do you think He got His only begotten son who is also Himself?

In case you didn’t already know, He also doesn’t approve of pronouns.

    Traffic enforcement cameras have been routinely abused by the government…

    People focus on the nasty abuse like stalking etc. but in my experience traffic cameras (specifically stop sign cameras) are abusive in another way: the fines are low, the crime is classed as civil, and no points are added to the drivers license. Which means if a citation is issued, people just pay it because contesting a false positive case is impossible because you have to schedule a court date, take a day off work to go to court, and pay the court fees even if the judgement is in your favor (which are higher than the actual fine). This only gets worse as more of these cameras switch to AI flagging with “human review,” which we know translates to “no one fucking watched the video, they just isssued the fine.”

    You say it’s unfair, and it might be, but the fact is that an individual is individually suing a corporation where he’s personally claiming damages. This isn’t because of corporate personhood, it’s because it’s one person versus an organization; he’s literally going after the entire BBC apparatus, not just one dude.

    I see your posts a lot but never comment, so here’s some suggestions to try out:

    Learn to pair different knots with different ties. Asymmetrical knots don’t always work with certain sizes. Experiment with making the knots tighter to give more definition. This tie would look better with both a symmetrical knot and a tighter knot.

    Periwinkle works like gray and gray doesn’t pair with either of the other two colors well. The vest itself is giving you clues with its own pattern.

    Your shirt shouldn’t be the same shade and color as your pants. This gives a mismatched uniform look if the colors don’t match exactly. If you want the same color shirt and pants combo, go with shades.

    Don’t make everything in the ensemble a color. Neutrals are there for balance and will help your accents pop. All pieces here are screaming for dominance.

    Next time you press your pants, stop the crease at the bottom of the pocket. This prevents the illusion of pleats and also prevents the pants from wearing too much.

    In my opinion, you could fix this entire outfit with a white shirt.

    I think the real advice is that you shouldn’t do post-graduate studies unless it’s paid for, comes with a stipend, or comes with an assistantship. Too many people (including myself) have paid for advanced degrees out of pocket only to find that they were pure coursework with no tangible experience.

    The other piece of advice that isn’t often given is that post-graduate work really is training for jobs in academia. If that’s not where you want to end up, then those degrees are rarely useful (outside of academia). There are a few fields where masters-level is required for entry level jobs, but setting your course for a PhD is really a course to an academic post.
